2x - 4y = -2
2x + 3y = 12

using equation 1
2x - 4y = -2
2x = 4y -2
x = (4y - 2)/2

now plug X into equation 2
2((4y-2)/2) + 3y = 12
multiplying 2 and dividing 2 cancel out leaving us with
4y - 2 + 3y = 12
combine like terms
7y -2 = 12
add 2
7y = 14
now divide by 7
y = 2

knowing that y is equal to 2 we can plug 2 into the first equation

2x - 4(2) = -2
2x - 8 = -2
add 8
2x = 6
divide by 2
x = 3

SO y=2 and x=3

There are three power plants [X, Y, Z] that at any given time each one either generates electricity or idles. Event A is that pl

We're told that

$P(A\cap B)=0.15$

$P(A\cup B)^C=0.06\implies P(A\cup B)=0.94$

$P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)=0.5$

where the last fact is due to the law of total probability:

$P(A)=P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B^C)$

$\implies P(A)=P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B^C\mid A)P(A)$

$\implies 1=P(B\mid A)+P(B^C\mid A)$

so that $B\mid A$ and $B^C\mid A$ are complementary.

By definition of conditional probability, we have

$P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)$

$\implies\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}=\dfrac{P(A\cap B^C)}{P(A)}$

$\implies P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)$

We make use of the addition rule and complementary probabilities to rewrite this as

$P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)$

$\implies P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B^C)-P(A\cup B^C)$

$\implies P(B)-[1-P(A\cup B)^C]=[1-P(B)]-P(A\cup B^C)$

$\implies2P(B)=2-[P(A\cup B)^C+P(A\cup B^C)]$

$\implies2P(B)=[1-P(A\cup B)^C]+[1-P(A\cup B^C)]$

$\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A\cup B^C)^C$

$\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A^C\cap B)\quad(*)$

By the law of total probability,

$P(B)=P(A\cap B)+P(A^C\cap B)$

$\implies P(A^C\cap B)=P(B)-P(A\cap B)$

and substituting this into $(*)$ gives

$2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+[P(B)-P(A\cap B)]$

$\implies P(B)=P(A\cup B)-P(A\cap B)$

$\implies P(B)=0.94-0.15=\boxed{0.79}$
